System Information: https://gist.github.com/mavjs/20c4a11c0a1e4f4eaabe

Recording (audio input) device: PulseAudio Default
Input device: Front Microphone - Built-in Audio

Due to this, I believe, I'm also unable to use voice in dota2.

When going to Settings->Voice->Test Microphone, the Steam client crashes with following errors (excerpts from journalctl):

@kisak-valve - haven't been using Fedora for gaming for awhile now, so can't say for sure.
